Inji Poondu kuzhambu/ Ginger garlic pulusu/huli

I studied from hostel and I was the only one who was 3 hrs travel from the home town.All my friends were from far south with atleast 10 hrs travel. So, whenever my mom visits me , she brings this dish for her home sick daughter and friends in a big container. Whenever she brings this kuzhambhu, none in our group will taste the mess sambhar for a week. The reason , longer the kuzhambhu stays out, tastier it is . It stays gud even for a week outside the refrigerator.So, I am happy to share my friends’ all time favourite dish.

Lakshmiammal love this kuzhmabu, yours plate is making me hungry. I make this with garlic and onion but not ginger, wonder why, it makes so much sense to add the ginger. It goes great with paruppu satham (dal rice)

Thanks for visiting my blog.Your kuzhambu looks so appetising,Will make it tomorrow and see what it tastes like.

My goodness,I have so many recipes to make now from all the friends I have in my blog now.You are also one of my friends as I have added you to my blog.I am very interested in Tamil recipes,so please keep then coming.Thanks.

Lakshmiammal, I made this yesterday and it was unbelievably awesome! I didnt have poppy seeds, so I left those out. But it was simply superb all the same. have you any idea if this is a suitable item for a post-natal diet (patthyam) if made without red chillis??
I think I should make double or triple the quantity you mentioned if i want to check how it tastes the next day! it all got over in one meal! didnt even last me till dinner…
thanks again!

Hi Vidya,
It is great that you enjoyed the dish. Poppy seeds are just to add body to the dish. I make this with a lot of garlic as I feed my baby. We believe that garlic increases your milk supply. Have a great time.Thanks

Thanks again.. will add this to my post-natal diet too! I wonder if i can make the ground masala and freeze it and assemble as required. have you tried that?? my mother makes a ready mix for milagu-kuzhambu, where i just need to add water and boil.. do you think frozen ground shd work?

Excellent Recipe. Thanks a lot. I am from Andhra but did my college in madras. I was looking for this recipe since long time. I tried it and can’t wait to make it again.
Thanks for sharing.Great job with the site.

i was searching for some spicy recipe as my taste buds misses all indian restaurant food staying in US.I was so excited to find this recipe & tried it imdtly!!! it came out so well & am sure i am going it keep making it again & again…

I wanted to prepare a different poondu kuzhambu than the one I usually make. So searched it in Google and landed here. It turned out very good and was liked by everybody in my family. Thank you very much for this awesome recipe.

Living in the US, memories of home got me to your page. I followed the recipe word for word. This is my first time making this kuzhambu. My husband is very picky, so I did not offer to him at all. But he tasted it on his own while digging the fridge and I got a load of compliments! I could not believe! He said t tasted like hotel food. Couldn’t get better :)
